Hello Beautiful’s,

Today I want to share with you some of my favorite products and some new favorite’s I have found for Spring. I am having Spring fever with all this rain and grey skies in Utah, I thought I would also share my latest “ready for Spring outfit” a fresh floral look I wore over the weekend and had tons of compliments on my jacket (that is over 20 years old!) It looks new because I really do only wear it a couple times every spring…It just screams SPRING with it’s bright colors and helps cure the blues! The colors make me happy and the large flowers reminds me of the 70’s which takes me back to my childhood! I really think you should buy clothing that speaks to you and if it brings back a memory even better! Now to my Spring beauty round up….I know you will love these products like I do and I hope if you grab a couple you’ll come back here and comment your thoughts.

We start loosing our collagen in our 20’s and because great skin doesn’t just happen with what you slather on top- it comes from within… I plan on using for 40 days and will report back to you. As I post this I noticed their having a SALE $26 instead of $35… Grab a box or 2

Are you guy’s getting Spring fever or Spring cleaning? I started Spring cleaning over the weekend as well as organizing to get ready to sell our home to down size (I shared some of my organizing in my instagram stories view in highlights) This is the longest we have lived in a house (12 years) in our 25 years together and we decided now is the time to sell and build our dream smaller house (I already started sketching) …. Just in time for Spring cleaning! Oh…the stuff I have collected over the last 12 years not to mention having owned 3 clothing stores….My props and seasonal items are out of control! So needless to say I have been working like crazy cleaning out, donating, organizing and down scaling (I’ll make sure to do a post on the whole house and every room before I de -personalize it)….I know some of you are saying “didn’t you just build your DREAM kitchen?” Yes..Yes I did and it took me years…and the counter tops go in a few day’s and I will share with you the finished product! It really is beautiful and I will miss not being able to enjoy it….sometimes that’s just the way live goes. Great things are always worth the wait!

As they say Spring is a fresh start….BOY are we getting them…. exciting things happening…..Our oldest is graduating college, I am starting a new career and we’re selling our home! Good things happen in 3’s:) I did have to keep telling my self this a couple of months ago when bad thing’s happened in 3’s & happing in our life… Every time I turned around something big was breaking…I would remind myself “good things are happening, good things are happening!” Stay positive in the mist of a storm! It’s hard to do a lot of the time, I just kept putting my faith in God and knowing he was putting us on the right path. Boy..Sometimes his timing just takes sooo long:) So as I sit here rambling on, know what ever is happening in your live good or bad there’s always a fresh path or a “Spring” start no matter the season.

May you have a wonderful Monday and go buy yourself a Spring treat you deserve it! OX, D’Arcy

5 Way’s to wear Camo pants

Hello Beautiful’s,

Today I want to share a couple of fun tips with you!

Styling a pair of Camo pant’s 5 ways and different looks you can achieve with Camo pant’s, from casual to dressy. I love it when you can get different looks from one piece of clothing and I often tell my clients to think of more then one way to wear a piece of clothing before they purchase it. This really does help with over purchasing and finding piece you’ll get a lot of use out of.

Tips to camo….. First off you don’t have to stick to its Olive & black color theme. In the first photo I did a playful outfit with a colorful fur vest! (that $8 deal I told you about in instastory!) The trick to this look is I anchored the bold vest with neutral black turtleneck and boots. The other tip is the vest had 2 of the colors in it as the camo, olive and black! This helps 2 patterns to play together.

2nd outfit giving camo pants a dressier feel! Camo has a bit of a casual and weekend feel, but you can dress it up like I did here with pairing it with a chic black leather jacket, black turtle neck or sweater, and fun accessories and classic shoes.

3rd outfit is a great Winter weekend or casual outfit. Stripes with camo works when the stripe is bolder and has 1 color of the camo in it. In this case it’s a bold Black stripe. Paired with Winter accessories this gives a fun and playful vibe.

4th outfit is a fun way to add some Spring to your camo pants. I paired with a gingham off the shoulder top and an olive duster vest. The solid olive duster vest is what grounds the two patterns. Wearing the gingham and camo together only, you wouldn’t achieve the same look. Don’t have a olive duster? Think Olive jacket, vest or cardigan.

5th outfit is casual and piece’s everyone owns! Denim jacket, saying tee, Tennis shoes. Great look for a sports game, running kids around or shopping. This is a look that you can easily achieve and what makes it fun is the bold cuff bracelet.

A lot of these pieces are old and sold out but I am linking some similar pieces below along with some great sale items and SALES. Look in your closet and see what you have to try and copy one of the looks (or ALL)….Doesn’t have to be exact, Fashion is fun so play around with it.

Do you have a question on styling or have an idea you would love to see in a post? Please leave a comment below and I would be happy to help.

I hope you have a wonderful week and be inspired to wear some camo! OX, D’Arcy

Shopping my looks:

Similar items: Muti colored vest 1 & vest 2 on sale, Camo jeggings, black turtle neck on Sale, Sorel boots, North face boots, olive duster vest or this vest and this Darling Jacket, saying tee’s My Humble tee’s, Gingham shirt and some fun Spring pieces @BCBG and their having a huge 50% off Sale and Shopbop is having up to 70% off sale.

Have you noticed your social media feed, office, or local coffee shop filling up with women dressed in red today – International Women’s Day. A movement encouraging women to wear red to show their solidarity with the movement “The day without woman” normally International woman’s day is represented with color’s of White, green & purple. But red is taken over to call attention to what it would be like without woman for one day. Read more here.

International Women’s Day is a worldwide event that celebrates women’s achievements – from the political to the social – while calling for gender equality. It has been observed since the early 1900s and is now recognized each year on March 8.

It is not affiliated with any one group, but brings together governments, women’s organizations, corporations and charities. The day is marked around the world with arts performances, talks, rallies, networking events, conferences and marches.

“A strong call to #PressforProgress. A strong call to motivate and unite friends, colleagues and whole communities to think, act and be gender inclusive.” Read more Here

Trending Hash tags

#metoo =The hashtag is in support of all women who have been sexually harassed by someone.

#timesup =Legal Defense Fund provides subsidized legal support to those who have experienced sexual harassment, assault, or abuse in the workplace. TIME’S UP.

#pressforprogress = A strong call to motivate and unite friends, colleagues and whole communities to think, act and be gender inclusive in the work place.

#adaywithoutawoman =The goal is to highlight the economic power and significance that women have in the US and global economies, while calling attention to the economic injustices women and gender nonconforming people continue to face. We play an indispensable role in the daily functions of life in all of society, through paid & unpaid, seen & unseen labor.

#BeBoldForChange = IWD campaign theme to rally for equal pay, created by the USA woman’s hockey team.

To help make a difference it’s great to support Woman owned business and purchase products that give back to the cause. Slogan tee’s, Mugs and Journal’s are just a few of the items I have been seeing. Here’s a few of my favorite’s

One of my favorite quotes to celebrate woman….

“A woman is like a tea bag, you never know how strong she is until she’s in hot water!” Eleanor Roosevelt

20+ Powerful Quotes to celebrate woman Here

Take time today to thank the woman in your life and maybe grab some lunch to celebrate “girl power” with a girlfriend. I am excited to say I will be spending the day with one of my long time girlfriend’s Meagan and we have some fun things in store after my tv segment Lunch, a Fashion show at Anthropologie and a night in Salt lake city.

It’s so important to have good girlfriends they make a great support team and even more important to spend some girl time with them…A little time away from your your family I believe makes you a better mom and wife. A little time for yourself is a much needed little break and what better way then with a good girlfriend!

So I hope you take sometime out for yourself today (even if it’s a bath)! OX, D’Arcy

Day to Night Affordable Metallic outfit Idea

Seeing Stars and loving all this seasons’s metallic’s. Kut from the Kloth Jeans & Star sweater on SALE for $24, Tassel earrings Nordstrom ombre sold out so I linked the Solid colors.

I love that you can use this outfit day or night and that it really can be causal simply because it’s a Sweater & Jeans. Change out the Shoes and accessories to simple studded earrings and converse or bootie and you have a casual look. Looks that can change from day to night with just swapping out a couple of pieces makes going from work to dinner with ease.

If you have been following me for awhile you know I am a big fan of Kut from the Kloth jeans. I love how they fit so when they come out with a new wash (this Metallic) or body style I am always up to grab a pair! The fabric is stretchy and the metallic gives them some glam.

Way’s you can try the metallic trend without breaking the bank…..

The metallic’s this season add a playfulness that any age can wear without being over the top. Really who doesn’t want a little sparkle! Not sure how you feel about metallic’s? Try it in a small dose! Like the sweater I am wearing. It’s on sale which makes it a reasonable way to try a trend. Want to make a bolder step? Try the jeans.. Kut from the Kloth is having a But one get one 50% off sale right NOW! If you haven’t tried Kut nows the time!

Talking about sparkle look at these shoes! More details about them at the bottom of this post. You know I am a shoe girl and I love different shoes. I really feel the shoes can make or break the outfit. Buying different & unique shoes can take a regular pair of jeans and a plain tee or sweater into a statement outfit. If you notice I rarely have on a basic pair of shoes….Shoes can finish the outfit or Make your outfit pop! Next time you go shoe shopping… Pick the color over black or grab a print! Make a statement! Get the shoes girl!!!

More about HOW Shoes can Make an outfit!coming Next week

Happy New Year….Bringing in 2018 Outfit

New Years eve outfit using my hubby’s velvet tuxedo jacket!

Happy New Year!

Wishing you all the best in 2018 with many blessing’s and I hope you can make ALL your dreams come true.

I wanted to share with you a fun little outfit I created for New year’s with my favorite item from my Hubby’s closet! He’s velvet tuxedo jacket (Jcrew)…Although it’s a little big it works! It adds balances with having tight bottoms. I paired it with a fun sequins tank top (old), black jeggings by Kut from the Kloth, metallic rose gold Clutch similar here and New Years worthy shoes by Badgley Mischka similar here.

I love thinking outside the box when it comes to creating a outfit and who say’s everything has to be new! Go dig in your hubby’s closet & see what you could barrow to dress up. I also like to search through my closet and find pieces I haven’t worn in awhile and create an outfit from that piece. In this case I found this cute cream sequined tank top. It’s amazing what can get “LOST” in your closet!

I don’t know about you but I really do like to stay home for New Year’s eve. (every once in awhile it’s fun to go to a party) Growing up it was Tradition to get into Pj’s, cousins came over to play games & watch movies and my mom made a appetizer dinner for snacking all night and we tried to stay up for the ball drop. Having this kind of night with my family is relaxing after all the hustle of the Holiday’s. What’s your New year’s tradition?

Make sure to check back tomorrow for a peek at one of my favorite Christmas gifts…Hint I had to wrap it myself! OX, D’Arcy

Affordable Outfit Details & sharing a couple tip’s

Hello Beautiful’s! Today I wanted to share this fun little outfit I picked up for under $50 at Forever 21 while in Las Vegas with my mom! A Super cute pink stripe bell sleeve off the should top $17.99 and a black frayed hem mini skirt $28.99! I got the top in a Medium and I really needed a small, unfortunately they were sold out! For $18.00 I really thought it’s so cheap, it’s ok is a little big! Bell sleeves and ticking stripes are a huge trend right now! Who doesn’t love a deal! I normally don’t go into Forever 21 because the sizing is all over the place and the quality is 1 to 2 washing’s and it’s done…this is where my first tip comes in…

Tip: I have said it before purchasing very trendy items at a affordable price is smart! Trendy piece’s are normally just around for that season and then DONE! Why spend a lot of money on something that has very little closet time!

Down side to affordable/Cheap clothing is the quality is sometimes poor and the fit can run really small or in this case really big! So make sure to try on…This isn’t the place to shop if you don’t like to try on!

Tip: 2. I normally suggest wearing a affordable piece of clothing with a quality piece! BREAKING A RULE! Here I am wearing two affordable pieces and it works because the denim skirt looks like quality denim! Now I haven’t washed either item yet…So i’ll let you know!

Tip:3 While shopping affordable clothing shops look for items that the fabric feels good, seams are sewn well and buttons are secured with enough stitching. Helps items to last longer and gives a better over all appearance! I am not saying don’t purchase affordable clothing…I am just saying some are much better then other’s. Old saying is true “You do get what you pay for!’

Tip:4 My favorite place’s to get a Bargain but on designer brands are TG Max & Nordstrom Rack… Quality at a steel, WELL sometimes!

Have A great week! OX, D’Arcy
